Summary: Packed with facts and fun.
Review: This series of cartoon episodes highlights the essential characters and events in world history from the Romans to the Chinese. After laughing your way through this, you'll be conversant and familiar with the personalities and events that shaped the development of a lot of the world. I intend to make these books a part of the early reading experiences of any children I eventually have... should keep them from being either complete philistines, or stuffed shirts

Summary: The best history book anyone could buy
Review: This should be the primary textbook for any World History class. It's both more interesting and more informative than any textbook I've every used.

Summary: C'mon, where's Volume III?
Review: This showed up under my Christmas tree in 1994. I loved every page (even if I didn't agree with some of Gonick's interpretations). He has a real sympathy with the poor, a great sense for interesting historical minutiae and a wonderfully active drafting style. (Artistically, this is more consistent than volume I).Of course, that's left me waiting five years for volume III to come out . . . hurry up, Larry, I need you to get me mad again.
